It depends on the particular atom in question. Any of those subshells can make up the outer shells of atoms. Examples: In Mg, the outer shell is the 2s subshell. In P, the outer shell is the 3p subshell. In Fe, the outer shell is the 3d subshell, etc.

Electrons involved in bonding atoms are?
valence electrons
Why do outer shells of atoms hold more electrons?
Because the shell can only hold eight electrons. check
Atoms with many electron shells will let go of their electrons more easily than those with fewer shells.?
true
Do atoms whose outer elecron shells contain eight electrons tend to form ionic bonds in aqueous solutions?
Atoms with outer electron shells that contain 8 electrons tend to be stable and chemically in reactive, or inert.
Reactions between atoms involve only?
Reaction between atoms involve only valenceelectrons (electrons in the outermost shells of atoms).
What happens two electrons when atoms share covalent bond?
They are shared by the valence shells of the atoms involved in the bond.
Do atoms with many electron shells let go of their electrons easier than fewer shells?
More the number of shells in an atom, more away will be the electrons from the nucleus. Hence, weaker will be the attraction between nucleus and outermost electrons. So atom with more shells will let go their electrons easier than atoms with fewer shells.
When atoms become ions their outer most shells of electrons become?
they add or loose electrons from the outer most shells
How many electrons are all atoms trying to get?
atoms try to get 10 electrons on shells around the atom. how many shells the atom has is based on the atomic number and atomic mass the atomic number determines how many shells their are.
Valence electrons are involved in what?
Valence electrons are involved in bonding to other atoms.
Electrons involved in bonding atoms are?
valence electrons
Why do atoms share electrons?
They share electrons when they try and corm covalent or ionic bonds. This is because the atoms want to gain a full outer shell. So when they share electrons they can have full shells.
electrons involved in bonding between atom are?
Electrons involved in bonding between atoms are valence electrons.
Where would you find valence electrons?
They are the electrons in the outermost shell, and are the ones involved in most chemical reactions.
How the number of electrons in an atoms electron shells is the basis for chemical bonding?
Atoms bond because they "share" their electrons. Every atom wants to have 2 atoms in their first shell, and then 8 in all the other shells. Lets say we have an atom with 3 electrons, and one with 9 electrons, they will esaly bond
What do shells (energy levels) and valence electrons have to do with atoms combining to make molecules?
Valence electrons form the bonds between atoms in a molecule.
What is produced by the sharing of electrons in the outer energy shells of atoms?
A covalent bond is formed when sharing electrons.
